Hello Jochen Meent,

this is normally a configuration error, not a bug. Go to the page  http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/FAQ/AptBrokenPackagesError for more information about this problem.

However in your zentyal-software version there is an error when updating the package list; sometimes when it fails is reported back as success so you can have an outdated list without knowing it. The bug is fixed in the repository but until we have a new version it would be better to update the package list manually with this command: "sudo pat-get update"

Regards,

Javier
